The market stall checklist that actually works

A printable, adaptable checklist for market stall setup, service and pack-down — with the items most operators forget.

Every experienced market trader has a story about the one thing they forgot. This is the list that stops it happening again.

Structure

Gazebo (and every leg). Weights or pegs. Walls. Roof lining. Signage. Table(s). Table cloth or wraps. Chair(s).

Trading

EFTPOS reader (charged). Backup card reader or link. Cash float. Receipt paper. Phone charger. Battery pack.

Food + gear

All prepped items. Sauces and condiments. Serving utensils. Napkins/paper. Boxes/cups/lids. Ice/cooler if perishable.

Compliance

Food-safety cert copy. Public-liability cert. Trading permit for that site.

Pack-down

Bin bags. Cloth + spray. Water for hand-wash. Rubbish disposal plan.

Do this once, reuse forever

Save this as a packing-list template you copy to every event. CartFlow does this natively so nothing rebuilds itself every week.
